National Wireless Independent Dealer Association

Good morning from Day 2 at the best show in wireless – the All Wireless and Prepaid Expo – here in HOT Las Vegas!

Day 1 did not disappoint! The show is the largest it’s ever been, with over 2 rows of exhibitors being added from just last year – and attendance is much larger.

Per usual, day 1 also brought some major announcements.

MobileX announced a major push into retail, adding new Master Agents and I was given another big story from them – but you’ll have to wait just a little longer for that one.

Verizon Value also had some MAJOR announcements, enhancing the international value of Total Wireless and Simple.

Simple has added unlimited global texting and calling up to 200 countries.

Total offers roaming to over 30 countries, and calling to 180 countries. 

Verizon prepaid home internet also made an “appearance” at their event at the Omnia club. Overall Verizon Value brands will have better device promos, with more free phones and more international calling and roaming.

Oh, and the Tracfone brand is coming back to the AR channel.

Thanks to MobileX, Alphacom and Verizon for the fun last night. But now, it’s back to work!
